loveandcyanide asked: Saw your post and well... I did and still do a lot of self shaming and I guess what I wanna say is that kinda made me think, I'll try and turn around my thoughts as well for my good and the sake of the people I care about. It's nice seeing stuff like that. ^_^ Also your art is cute!

Hey, I’m glad to hear it!  

I carry a massive, massive, massive amount of shame around with me largely regarding sharing and admitting to the things that I like - to the point where my shame is like a person sitting behind my eyes judging me and I’ve just named it my Shame Passenger - so reclaiming ‘self-indulgent’ for myself was a really massive step forward.   I still have to very consciously pick it up and direct it the other way sometimes, but very often now, it goes that way on its own!  I can’t even tell you what a huge change it is for me to draw whatever I want in my sketchbooks and not just shut down the minute I feel like it’s outside of what would be ‘accepted’ for any number of reasons.  It’s incredible.

I hope the same happens for you and I’m really glad my post helped.

(And thank you for the comment about my work, that’s very nice of you to say!)
